Also had a pair of assists, two blocked shots and five steals.

Soraya Ogaldez, North Thurston — Rams’ star guard and 3A South Sound Conference MVP brought her game to the Dome, pouring in 31 points, six steals and six rebounds for the Rams.
Avery Hansen, Auburn — The freshman showed why she’s one of the state’s promising young guards, pouring in 23 points and connecting on 4-of-10 shots from beyond the arc in a loss to Everett.
QUOTABLE
Jazmyn Shipp, Bonney Lake: “We’ve never beaten them before this season. My entire high school career it’s been the only team we lose to is Lincoln. So getting to beat them three times in a row is incredible. Coming into the third quarter, no matter how much they were down we knew we were going to win the game.”
Alana Washington, Everett: “She just knows I’m going to keep running,” Alana Washington said of her sister, Mae. “It paid off and I’m so happy about that. I’m glad I was open for the layup.”
